I've never seen this list like this, with SO BLOODY MUCH discussion about the
list itself, far in excess of the stuff that (I thought) this list was
supposed to be about.
I've seen a number of folks saying "If you don't like the way this list is
run, start your own", so I did -- but not for that reason. I started a
yahoo group for folks to discuss the 10-year-rule and the similar stuff
that's been bogging things down in here lately. You can join it at:
10-year-rule-subscribe at yahoogroups.com
Feel free, and have fun.
Now, can we get back to talking about classic computers (by whatever
definition)?

I know it's the "10 year rule" list, but I was wondering about an RSS feed
for it. And please, please put a tag in the subject line of all posts like
[10-year-rule] so I know what messages are what. And make damn sure the
reply-to address for your list is not the original poster, cause I don't
believe in RFC's and that ilk. Or is all that kinda stuff considered
off-topic? So just what IS on topic on your list? I'm really hoping we can
post more on the topic of what is on topic than the real topic of the list.
I'm sure that's ok.

Are you using just 365 day years or are you including 366 day (leap) years?
Or are you simply defining a year as 365.25 days?

365.24219 (approximately)
We recently had the 25th anniversary of the IBM 5150 PC,
the machine that heralded the end of the classic era.
Yes, there were some classics produced after the introduction
of the PC, it signified the end, not immediately cutting it off.
